Fighting was never my first call when I was annoyed
Never.
But as I sat and watched all the boys playing football, watching that smug prick's smile as he flaunted himself in front of the cheerleaders... I was highly debating it

"Don't let him get to you" Ivy advised, taking another photo
"Fuck him" I grumbled
"Exactly, that's the spirit" she said
I sighed, I was only here because she dragged me
Because she couldn't sit here alone and waste her time taking photos for the team

Or for the fucking newspaper
I tried not to let him get to me
But the confidence Tommy had was astounding
Even when he knew he was wrong.

• Flashback •
- Two months ago -

"I just don't think it's working out, we don't fit together Tommy" I tried to explain
I could barely hear my own thoughts over the music from the party inside
"Baby what are you saying? Come on. You're drunk, you always do this-"

"No, I'm not drunk, and no I don't always do anything, you're the one that's drunk, you're the one being horrible to me, you're the one chatting up girls all night and I'm sick of it Tommy" I explained
I was done being treated like a door mat
Pretending not to see the way he flirts with people.

He scoffed, smile ever present
"You're really doing this? Here? Now?" He asked
I crossed my arms
"Yes" I said, I've had enough.
I'm sick of the lying and being made to feel like I'm the one who's wrong all the time.

He looked at me
With that look I've been given for the past five months
Like I'm the one being a bitch
I'm the one ruining the evening
Even when he's flirting with girls right in front of my face

Even when he ditched me and left me to get here alone
"Fine, whatever, go home yeah? We'll talk tomorrow" he said
"No Tommy, I'm done" I said

"I don't want to talk tomorrow, I think we should just give each other space" I said
He laughed at me, like he truly couldn't believe me, before he walked back inside the party, leaving me.

I sighed. I want to go home
"How did it go?" Ivy asked worriedly
"Horribly. Let's just go" I said
"So he told you?"
I turned around, seeing Mallory stood in the doorway, with a smile on her face

"Sorry?" I asked
"Tommy, he told you... about us" she said
Us? He...
"You two?" Ivy asked disgusted
Mallory shrugged

"Yeah, I thought he told you?" She said
I didn't know what to say
He's seeing her? He's cheating? Was cheating?

"No, he didn't, fucking asshole, I'm going t-"
"Ivy, leave it" I said, grabbing her arm
I felt too... defeated
Too drained
Tommy was like a fucking parasite. He took everything out of you and then pounced when you were weak
